There’s a new group of Pretty Little Liars in town. Five years after the Freeform series came to an end, “Pretty Little Liars” is being revived by HBO Max with a brand new cast. Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, the series, which is titled “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” promises more suspense and horror than the original.
“We’re such huge fans of what I. Marlene King and her iconic cast created, we knew that we had to treat the original series as #canon and do something different,” Aguirre-Sacasa and Calhoon Bring said in a joint statement, per Deadline. “So we’re leaning into the suspense and horror in this reboot, which hopefully will honor what the fans loved about the hit series, while weaving in new, unexpected elements.” “Roberto and Lindsay are expanding the ‘Pretty Little Liars’ universe with more murder, mysteries, and scandal, and we can’t wait,” Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, told Deadline. Keep reading for everything there is to know so far about the upcoming series, including the teaser trailer, release date, and cast.
